That's not that we don't agree that using xulrunner would be nice,
technically it's not easy to do though. Firefox is well known by linux
and windows users and most users want to use it so it's going to be
used. Building it with xulrunner would be lot of extra work and divert
from upstream which me
Yes, I know, what you want to tell me, but wouldn't the maintenance
efforts of you developers just be exchanged from firefox to xul? I don't
know if the bugs are happening in FF or Gecko, so for now I just have to
believe you, that changing the dependency for Epiphany would be
unreasonable but as t
The default browser is firefox at the moment so it has to be on the CD. To
build GNOME with xulrunner we would have to add it to the CD which means having
to remove something else. I think users like better to have extra applications
available rather than firefox and xulrunner.
You would have t
I'm sure they could, but thats not an fair argument, as the reason for filing
this bug was to get rid of th firefox dependency.
But be that as it may, let's assume, that this
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=93219 is a representative sample and
let's assume mr. Shuttleworth was right, wh
those programs could use firefox also, no?

Well, considering some emerging programs like for example Joost,
Democracy & Songbird, xulrunner will be an integral part of the
forthcoming multimedia portion of the desktop, so it would streamline
the base of a consistent desktop system, when Epiphany and FF were being
built against xulrunner (al
Epiphany is an official GNOME module and supported officially so it's
available to main. Why do you think that a xulrunner build would be
better?

Then why not just move Epiphany to universe?

Thank you for your bug. The default browser on Ubuntu is firefox which
is actively maintained, xulrunner is to universe. To build epiphany with
xulrunner we would have to promote it to main which would mean lot of
extra work. Since building with firefox or xulrunner makes almost no
difference for t
